Tama Hochbaum
Tama Hochbaum (born 1953) is an artist and photographer living in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.[1]
Life
Hochbaum was born in New York, and received her BA from Brandeis University in Fine Arts.[citation needed] Upon graduation, she was awarded upon graduation a Thomas J. Watson Foundation Fellowship to study printmaking at Atelier 17 in Paris.[citation needed] She later received a MFA in painting from Queens College in NYC in 1981. She worked as a painter in Newton, Massachusetts for 20 years. In 1991, during a four-month stay in Italy, an old interest in photography that had begun during her time in Paris re-emerged.[2] In 1996, she and her family moved to North Carolina, where she currently lives.[3]
Process
Her recent work consists of black and white street portraits, grids created by combining like photographic elements, and a series on the Silver Screen.[citation needed] In this series, Hochbaum takes screenshots of classic movies broadcast on TV, warping images of our most famous Hollywood starlets (Audrey Hepburn, Greta Garbo and Lillian Gish among them [4]) before printing the image on aluminum panels, a silver screen in and of itself. Along with these series, she has created a number of slide shows to music, pieces that each contain hundreds of her images. Two of these pieces were commissioned by the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. One, Graffito, a collaboration with her husband the composer Allen Anderson, was screened in Memorial Hall in February 2011 as part of the North Carolina Digital Arts Festival. Another, return:radius, was screened at the FedEx Global Education Center as part of the Water of Life Festival in the Spring of 2013.[citation needed]
